Context of Mark 6:32

30The apostles gathered around Jesus. They reported to him everything they had done and taught. 31So he said to them, “Let’s go to a place where we can be alone to rest for a while.” Many people were coming and going, and Jesus and the apostles didn’t even have a chance to eat. So they went away in a boat to a place where they could be alone. 33But many people saw them leave and recognized them. The people ran from all the cities and arrived ahead of them. 34When Jesus got out of the boat, he saw a large crowd and felt sorry for them. They were like sheep without a shepherd. So he spent a lot of time teaching them.
